Have you ever wanted to do this?
Today I received 5 credit card offers in the mail. This is really starting to bother me and I will tell you why. Not only have we decided not to get any new credit cards ever, but I am worried about identity theft and feel the need to tear up or shred every application. I shouldn't have to do that. Anyways, I opened all five, tore up the actual application part and stuffed everything else back into the addressed envelopes that they provided. I am going to mail them now. From what I understand, the credit card company has to pay the postage on these envelopes that get mailed back to them. I feel better.

How annoying...you are smart
I'm totally going to copy you. I hate all those dumb credit card apps. They are so annoying.
You should sign up for "opt out". This is a website where you stop pre-approved credit card offers for five years. They also give a page to print out and send in to stop credit card offers forever. Sean and I did this awhile ago, and it has reduced the number we receive significantly.
that is THE best idea ever. i'm so in.
Bravo!
That is a really good idea!
ha! that is so funny. i love this idea. sometimes when telemarketers call i pretend like i can't hear them on my phone and just keep saying hello over and over again. we all have to do our part in the fight against solicitation.
:) great idea.
